Roy Harper - The Plough lyrics

On the stair

And I don't know where, I am

I don't know how I got there

Where was I going?

What was I doing?

Before that same thought

Reached down and caught

Hooked me in the gut

Cursed me from every angle

As I was pulled out

Of the water again

And began to suffocate in pain

Desperately grappling

To untie the knot

That I can't even get hold of

That I can't see but only feel

What am I doing?

How the hell did I lose her?

How could i?

Why did I say things I didn't mean?

Where have I just been?

The house creaks

In the silent parting

Of the day after day

Of no one

Not a sound

Why was she so mean?

Was it because she felt she could be

Because she felt she was right?

O what a prick I am

What a shite

And what am I holding?

O... Yes, it's a plug

Why can't she understand?

Because she's never been left

She's my drug

And now cold turkey

Where was I going?

To put it on the lamp

That's right

I wonder whether she's looked up

And seen the plough tonight
